REAL LOVERS

FASHION BABYLON

by Gianluca Matarrese
Country: France
Year: 2022
Duration: 87'


Gianluca Matarrese breaks down the scenes of the world of fashion and runways and gives us a lively, tender, contradictory and deeply honest movie. For a long time the director follows the worldly life and the work commitments of Michelle Elie (designer and fashion icon), Casey Spooner (performer and musician) and Violet Chachki (winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race"), real resident and celebrities of the most important runways: Milan, Paris, New York. How much does it cost to be yourself and to be a star in a world of appearances?
